Zhuang Cainan seemed to have quickly recovered her posture, despite still looking worn out. However, her condition seemed to have improved. She had an air of calmness and elegance in her demeanor.

“Let’s go,” Zhuang Cainan handed the phone back to Assistant Qiu.

Assistant Qiu took it and nodded at Su Lu, “Then we won’t disturb your meal, Miss Su.”

“Take care,” Su Lu nodded.

After they left, the awkwardness didn’t dissipate. The bystanders were at the scene and watched the entire process.

The waiter stood at the side with his head lowered. He had already tried his best to minimize his presence. However, it was still a little awkward at the moment. He raised his head and wanted to ease the tension.

But the moment he looked up, he saw a man walking over from behind Su Lu. Even though he was wearing a bathrobe and his hair was slightly wet, he was still extremely handsome.

Presumably, he was the male lead who hadn’t appeared during the previous commotion.

Just based on his appearance, it was undeniable that he possessed the allure to drive two women crazy.

Bo Jingshen walked up, embraced Su Lu’s shoulder, and said, “What are you standing there for? Aren’t you going to have breakfast?”

He appeared completely unaware or indifferent to the commotion that had occurred at the entrance.

However, Assistant Qiu’s presence indicated that Bo Jingshen was aware of everything. How could he not know? There was so much commotion outside, but he had no intention of coming out to take a look.

The waiter felt relieved as if he had been rescued. He let out a sigh of relief, pushed the dining cart inside, and arranged the dishes on the table. After receiving a generous tip from Bo Jingshen, he quickly left.

The food was delicious, but Su Lu ate with her mind elsewhere.

This… The feeling of being a mistress was too uncomfortable. She still had Zhuang Cainan’s words and expressions lingering in her mind.

Bo Jingshen sat across from her, eating and glancing at stock prices.

He lifted his eyes slightly and looked at her, “It’s not delicious?”

“What? No, it’s good,” Su Lu replied.

Su Lu picked up a piece of egg with her fork and put it in her mouth, but it tasted like wax.

Taking a deep breath, Su Lu said, “Zhuang Cainan, she…”

“What’s wrong? Are you jealous?” Bo Jingshen raised an eyebrow.

Su Lu opened her mouth, “I… What right do I have?”

Bo Jingshen smirked, “Yeah, what right do you have?”

Then, he stood up, leaned over the table, and gently kissed her lips. Without any hesitation, he pulled her half-eaten breakfast closer to himself and started eating naturally.

Bo Jingshen said, “If you don’t feel like eating, don’t force yourself. I’ll take you somewhere else for lunch.”

After breakfast, Bo Jingshen returned to his room for a conference call.

Su Lu had some free time to handle some work. There was a cup of warm water on the table and a box of medicine that had just been delivered by the errand boy. Su Lu stared at the box for a moment, then squeezed out the only white pill inside and swallowed it with water.

Through the phone on the table, Cheng Youran let out a sigh, “Ah, you might as well take those short-acting contraceptives. It’s better than taking these emergency contraceptive pills that can harm your body.”

“It’s not like I take them all the time,” Su Lu replied after swallowing the pill.

“What exactly is going on between you and Bo Jingshen?” Cheng Youran’s voice conveyed her evident frown. “What does this mean now?”

“I don’t know,” Su Lu replied.

“Just like that… playing around?” Cheng Youran’s tone was sharp, questioning Su Lu.

“Well, you could say that,” Su Lu responded with a hint of helplessness in her voice.

“Do you agree to it too? Su Lu, what happened to your integrity?”

“I can’t summon my integrity when I’m in front of him,” Su Lu chuckled self-mockingly, which made Cheng Youran feel sorry for her.

“I might just die of frustration because of you,” Cheng Youran said.

Before Su Lu could say anything else, Su Yukang’s phone call came in.

After considering it for a moment, Su Lu decided to answer and ended the call with Cheng Youran.

As soon as she answered, she coincidentally heard her stepmother Zhu Xinyan saying to Su Yukang, “Jiao Jiao has come over. Get her to introduce Jiao Jiao to Second Young Master Jiang and President Bo, they are both in Hai City now! What a great opportunity! Did you hear that?”

“I know, I know… Hmm? It’s connected.” Su Yukang’s voice carried a hint of helplessness and gentleness while speaking to Zhu Xinyan, but when he spoke to Su Lu, his tone turned stern.

“What’s the matter with you? I told you to establish a good relationship with President Liu! Build connections! But instead, you offended him!”

Su Lu sneered. “How can you say it was me who offended him? I attended the dinner party President Liu invited me to, and I drank the wine he offered.”

“Fine.” Su Yukang interrupted, “Since when did you become so close with President Bo?”

Without waiting for Su Lu’s response, which he didn’t need her response, he continued, “Jiao Jiao is coming to Hai City, so take good care of her. Besides, both Second Young Master Jiang and President Bo are in Hai City now, right? You have a good relationship with President Bo, so help introduce Jiao Jiao to him.”

Su Lu was extremely annoyed. She couldn’t take it any longer. “Since you’re so capable and well-connected, why don’t you introduce her yourself? I have something else to do. I’m hanging up.”

Zhu Xinyan protested on the other end of the phone, “Su Lu! What kind of attitude is this?”

Su Lu hung up the phone without responding and then heard the commotion outside.

Except for Jiang Li, no one else could create such a lively scene.

Seeing Bo Jingshen’s wolfish expression, Jiang Li felt that his eyes were stinging. He covered his eyes with one hand and exclaimed, “D*mn it, d*mn it!”

Jiang Li had already heard about last night’s incident from Cheng Dongyu.

He couldn’t be more shocked. Since Bo Jingshen and Su Lu got involved, it was truly unfathomable.

Jiang Li had known Bo Jingshen for five years, yet he had no idea that he could be a wounded hero, sacrificing himself for love. The idea of him being madly in love for a woman was even more unimaginable.

This Su Lu… she was truly an extraordinary person.

“Have you booked it?” Bo Jingshen had already changed his clothes into a simple shirt and casual pants, which looked handsome enough.

“Yes, I’ve booked it.” Jiang Li nodded. “But didn’t you say yesterday that you couldn’t eat those dishes?”

“Bring Su Lu along,” Bo Jingshen said in a calm voice. “She likes to eat those dishes.”

Just as Su Lu opened the door, she happened to hear his words.

She was stunned for a moment, but it was as if the uneasy mood caused by Su Yukang’s unpleasant phone call was instantly relieved.

Bo Jingshen looked at her and raised his eyebrows. “King crab, do you want some? I’ve never brought you to eat before.”

Su Lu nodded. “Yes.”

When they were dating, Bo Jingshen didn’t have much money. Even in a coastal city like Hai City, king crabs were very expensive.

Bo Jingshen’s words made Jiang Li very curious.

“Hmm? In the past? In the past? What do you mean by ‘in the past’? Did you two know each other before?”

Jiang Li had always felt that Bo Jingshen treated Su Lu differently, but he never knew the reason behind this uniqueness. Now, he had finally caught a glimpse of the truth, and his eyes sparkled with curiosity.

His voice became a few decibels louder.

“Enough chatter, let’s go,” Bo Jingshen tapped the back of Jiang Li’s head.

“You, you…” Jiang Li moved closer to Su Lu. “Su Lu, tell me about it.”

Bo Jingshen couldn’t be bothered and lazily pulled Su Lu to his side, blocking Jiang Li’s interference.

Then, they entered her room together. “Go change your clothes, we’re going out now.”

“Alright, just give me a moment,” Su Lu picked up her clothes and went to the bathroom.

Bo Jingshen stood outside, holding a cigarette in his mouth. As he was about to light it, he caught a glimpse of a small medicine box in the trash can from the corner of his eye.

His gaze darkened.
